Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

English Books: The Host

Hey, there!!
See, guys, I fell in love with the film based on "The Host" so I ran to buy the book. I'm not used to watching the film before reading the initial artistic element but... What can I say, this time it happened that way.
Anyway, I finished it ages ago and just wanted to talk to you about it.
"Melany Strider refuses to fade away" . An alien race has invaded the Earth and  are taking for hosts the bodies of almost every human on the surface.
But some still resist. Melany belonged to them until she got caught and was given a soul, named Wanderer, to occupy her body.
Wanderer is a soul who, as her name suggests, has travelled a lot. She's been to eight planets and spent a whole life cycle of her hosts in them.
The Seekers, souls in charge to find the resistance, hope that she's able to search Melany's mind to find answers to "Where's the base of the humans?" "What do they really expect to do?" "How many?"
The thing is that they don't count with the fact that Melany might still be there.
Some humans stay inside themselves and co-exist with the souls. Not many. But it's a possibility. And, of course, the strength of Melany helps her to survive.
Oh, and this special problem grows bigger every single day because... Melany and Wanderer kinda... connect. They get to be friends. And Melany's feelings for Jared, his boyfriend, get to be shared by Wanderer.
What will this feelings take them to? Will it be their salvation... or their destruction?

Find it out by reading the book, guys. It's totally awesome. I got all sentimental when it finished, couldn't believe that was it and no more was coming. :)

"Epic", a great film!

Guys!

I watched this film named "Epic" around... three weeks ago? Anyway, I totally loved it. It's for kiddos and all but so funny... (And, you know, nowadays the guys who create the characters tend to make the handsomest guys for little kid's films. Oh, but I'm sure that's because they know I'M gonna go and watch the films, of course... ;) Ha, ha!)

Anyway, I totally recommend it for your children. It's nice, the story is great and if you have to watch it with your kids you're gonna love it too, as you'll understand some of the jokes your kids won't. I've watched it like three times already, so you can imagine up to what point I liked it.

I leave you the poster and the trailer, hope you guys like it!


Oh, he's there!! You see him?? Nice, ha? Really nice...
Anyway, watch the film!

Forever yours,

Miriam

"Poesía del Mes" Agosto del 2013

Os dejo una de "El chico con cianuro", otro bloguero que se pasó por aquí hace unos días. A mí me gusta, a ver que os parece...

-Aquí o Allá-

Opuesto a mi es ir
hacia adelante solamente.
Estoy ahí.

Voy deprisa o lento,
como los secretos a la basura.
Historias en la arena y
arena en el polvo.

Testigos de aquella
fatídica oportunidad perdida.
Cerca o lejos, que más da. 

Música rara y algo más.
Ni que fuera la primera vez 
que pasa algo así, aquí o allá.
Me ha parecido que este Agosto tenía que venir cargado con una poesía de alguien del siglo XXI. Espero que os haya gustado.
Os dejo el blog, pasaros :)

Informativos de mi blog CXXVIII

¡Chic@s!
¡Hay! ¡Que me da!
En fin, cierro la última semana y vuelvo a abrir otra.
Hace ya bastante tiempo os publiqué una entrada sobre "City of Fallen Angels", la cuarta parte de la saga de "Shadowhunters". Es un imprescindible del adolescente hoy en día, no os digo más. Una lectura obligada, ¡os lo digo yo! Tenéis que leerla porque apuesto a que pondría la mano en el fuego que a nueve de diez (si es que no son los diez) os gusta.
Nuestra Clary Fray cada vez cautiva a más lectores. Incluso han llevado "City of Bones" (el primer libro) a la gran pantalla.
Yo sigo debatiéndome. No sé si ir o no ir a verla... Sinceramente, quiero demasiado a los personajes que mi mente ha creado para mi deleite. Tanto, que no los quiero ver sustituidos. Ya os contaré...

¿Sabéis que tenemos noticias por www.sobreunlienzodepapelytinta.wordpress.com?
Hay nuevas entradas y, además, he creado un twitter oficial para la página.
Os lo dejo, luego lo colgaré fijo en el blog.
Twitter: @SobreUnLienzo

¡A disfrutar de los dos "diicas" que quedan!
